Continental Airlines (NYSE:CAL) is implementing a flight schedule reduction at its Houston hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) for Friday and Saturday in anticipation of deteriorating weather conditions caused by Hurricane Ike. Similar flight reductions are also anticipated at other select Gulf Coast and Texas destinations. Normal operations are planned at the Newark Liberty and Cleveland hubs.
A reduced flight schedule will take effect on Friday, Sept. 12 at IAH. Most mainline jet departures should operate normally until early afternoon on Friday. After that time, Continental does not expect to operate mainline jet flights at IAH.
Continental Express and Continental Connection regional airline flights will be suspended earlier on Friday, starting between mid-morning and mid-day.
No Continental, Continental Express or Continental Connection flight operations are expected at Houston on Saturday.
Continental has plans to reactivate the hub on Sunday morning, Sept. 14, although some flights on Sunday will remain subject to cancellation.
Continental employees from other domestic locations are positioned to fly into Houston to assist their co-workers in resuming operations at the IAH hub after the storm.
